For my past trips I was learning about my destination from a book and then was picking up updated tips from the Internet. For my next trip to Thailand I decided to plan it using only online sources.
I'm using TripAdvisor, Gogobot and Facebook to get recommendations about places to visit and accommodation options along with Stack Exchange for more practical information.
What I'm missing is a source of general and background information about my destination.
I stumbled upon Wikitravel which seems quite comprehensive. Is it really up-to-date and reliable? Are there other recommended websites to get such information?
